The Day Jimmy Carter Came To Town

[partisan-by-default]

Carter’s reshaping of who gets to interpret the Constitution is one of the greatest and most unheralded achievements in presidential history.

Even though no president who followed Carter deployed nominating commissions, each put more women and minorities on the bench than Carter’s predecessors. Judicial diversity became a priority particularly for Carter’s Democratic successors: Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama both surpassed his record, and Clinton’s two Supreme Court appointees, Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer, were initially elevated to the judiciary by Carter. “After Carter, things never went back to old ways,” Ginsburg said at a 2015 public talk. “The first time I ever thought of being a judge was when Jimmy Carter announced to the world that he wanted to change the complexion of the U.S. judiciary, which he did.”        

Now, decades later, this generation of diverse judges is ending its service, and it is being replaced by a markedly non-diverse cohort of judges. As this changing of the guard occurs before us, we must understand what is being lost—and what was accomplished.

ঈদের আগে প্রবাসী আয়ে রেকর্ড, আগস্টের পর থেকেই বাড়ছে
